THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, MONDAY, MARCH 9, 1914

IMPERSONATES

SALOON KEEPER (Continued from P&g 1.) on the Job better. I saw that tie schools needed money. So I decided to open on Sunday for charity's sake like your little nlckleodeona did. "Then a big fellow wearing a bine coat all decorated with brass buttons came around and said 'Hobson, why don't you shut up? Don't you know this Is Sunday V "I told him or course I knew It was Snndar. but I've cot to wet the whis tles of these fellows on Sunday the same as on week days. Besides, I'll need some extra money for that election. Are the restaurants and the churches and the hospitals closed?' I asked him. He told me 'No' but said It was legal for them to open. "Then I saw a bunch of fellows wearing little hatchets and cherries In their coat lapels. So I ran down and opened the Mint to give them Bome place to go. Then the same blue coat came around and said, 'Hobson, shut up.' He said it was Washington's birthday. 'I can't save this city if you're going to close me up on everybody's grandmother's birthday ' I told him. 'When does your birthday come around V Day Before Election. "Then the election came around and I thought I would save the situation for the town. So the day before, I tanked all the boys up with some good old Kentucky campaign booze. I had a good supply on for election day but they wouldn't let me sell it. Then I got a little hot over it. They weren't treating me right 'You fellows are closing me up sixty-five days out of 365. Do I get a rebate on my license?' I asked the bluecoat. ft "Then I got some women and some kids to come around in the back room so they could enjoy a little booze with the men. but the blue coat closed them out, and said it was against the law. " 'Look here. Mr. Bluecoat." If I can get the appetite in these kids, they'll save the town some day. You're about to bleed me to death. Remember who 1 am. I am a saloon keeper, brought here to Bave the town from bankruptcy,' I told him. "Then the business men organized and I thought, of course, since I was the saloonkeeper, they had brought me to rescue the town, I would be elected president of the Boosters' club. But it seems they overlooked me. "Then some committee brought out .a little pamphlet telling all about Richmond. 'Home of Quakerism,' '130 factories," but nothing about my busi-1 iiess. I said, 'Come, no, give us a square aeai. 11 you want 10 doosi uae town, why don't you head it off with Richmond has 56 saloons?' Rent is Raised. "Then my church landlord came around. 'I want to look over the water pipes,' he said, 'but I've got to go to a prayer meeting tonight, s I'll be round tomorrow. So leave a little jttle up on the back sink where I can find it. I'm going to raise your rent $75 a month, too, so I can pay my missionary dues. "Then I noticed some lodge fellows were coming into my place regularly. But the Mason's wouldn't let me In; the Odd Fellows wouldn't have me. ! I couldn't get into the Knights of Pythias. "My wife and my daughter couldn't get into the select society. My daughter couldn't go with my landlord's son. "What do you lodge fellows mfan by coming around to my place and I then refusing to take me in? You've j taken your obligations of your lodge j and your church. J live up to that vow that you took on your bended ! knees before the open Bible, you can't ! come into my pla;e or vote for my saloon. Prevented from Joining. "When I tried to get insured, "Mr. Jones said his company didn't take saloon keepers. 'Why, you scoundrel, you patronize my place,' I told him. "Then I went to the factories and the Pennsylvania shops and told them lo send up some delegations of their mpn to patronize me. The way they turned me down was a shame. "I couldn't get into a tango dance to save my life. Mrs. Hobson couldn't even turkey trot with the ministers. "Then I went before the city and said, 'If my money is good, my business is good and my morals are good.' You've got four-fifths of the population under prohibition laws. There are about six thousand voters that we are open for. The old reprobate fathers can go in and drink like hogs, but you won't let the mother and her three children get a drink occasionally. "Now I will switch from the saloon side to your side. There are probably two thousand men in your city who drink. Make it three thousand so as . to give the drinking side a stronger argument. Then you see the saloons are open to accommodate one-tenth of the population. Exercise Your Right. "I tell you it's unconstitutional; it's class legislation. You dont limit the number of drug stores or groceries to the population. Its' class legislation. The whole hue and cry of the saloon keeper is personal liberty. Take your personal liberty and vote against the saloon so the saloon keeper can get into a decent business. "Ask the bankers who deposit the most money, the drinking men or the sober men. Ask the grocer who pays cash" for his groceries. Ask the shoe man who buys the most shoes for his family. "Pasadena was started about thirty years ago by a colony of Indiana people. They voted the place dry while the place was a village. Now it has boomed to a city of 40,000. "Adolphus Busch, the rich St. Louis brewer, who died recently, passed up Richmond and Indianapolis and St. Louis, and all the other wet towns and chose Pasadena, where no booze is sold. Then he built his famous Busch gardens, the finest sunken gardens anywhere in the land. . He lavished bis millicns on Pasadena. At the time of V".e famous feast he gave, a Pasadena minister eulogized him. But the Pasadena people wouldn't stand for it, and they are still up in arms about it."

How Do You Do Your Hair Six of th Latest Colffursa and How to Make Them.

How to do your hair will, always be the eternal question, for, just as you have solved the problem of today, along comes fashion and scornfully tells you that hair idea of yours belongs to yesterday. And then you are compelled to take to-morrow's style and find your personal answer to that. Six attractive Blanche Ring chorus eirls offer you various solutions to the coiffure problem. I Beginning at the top, we have the latest Parisian decree as to ui&posuia of yotir locks. Part your hair softly on the side and draw the smaller amount back into a flat knot at the back of your head. Separate one strand of hair from the greater mass and puff this at the crown of the head for a suggestion of height. Now throw the greater mass of hair across the foundation knot and tuck it under, so that there is a smooth sweep of hair fastened and held in place by a long comb or several big shell pins. The next girl advocates hair softly waved and parted, to be drown into a low knot at the nape of the neck. The third beauty maid has a soft pompadour fastened under a whirl of hair.

SEEKS HIGHER RATES

(Continued from Pace One.) service by the city. The company has end will continue to have bonds and other securities issued against the said plant in conjunction with its gas plant in Richmond and outstanding in the hands of the public. Company's Rights. "For these and other reasons th company, as it seems to us. Is an interested party entitled to be heard, not only upon any consideration given by the commission to the question of the city rates for electricity for a permanent period, but as well upon any consideration of such reduction for a temporary period. If, however, as indicated by the newspaper article, the commission. Is to grant authority for such a reduction for a temporary per iod without an opportunity given to the company to be heard, a manifest Injustice - will result to the company unless the commission In granting such authority provide at the same time eithej that the reduction of the city rates shall not extend beyond the present rates of the company, or' that the company shall have the right, under section 45 of the public utility act to make as much of a reduction of Its own rates, within the limits of the reduction allowed for city rates, as it finds necessary for the preservation of Its business, the commission waiving as it may under the said section the necessity of thirty days' notice of the change of rate. Unless this is done, the company during the period of temporary reduction would probably lose a large majority of its cus tomers to the city under the latter's reduced rates, and even through the commission's ultimate determination restored the city rates to at least as high a figure as that iiow charged by the company, an irreparable injury would have been caused to the company since it would be difficult in all cases and impossible in many cases for it to recover its customers after they had made a change In connections. . Ready to Act. "In the situation now developed, I do not see how anyone could fairly object to such a voluntary lowering of rates by the private corporation, but if such situation as we indicate it fails to present features which would seem of themselves to justify the commission in making the provision on its own fnitative in the protection of the private corporation, or if for any other reason you would prefer that the request embodied in this letter take the form of a regular verified application, we will take steps to have such formal application immediately executed and presented to the commission. "We believe our attitude is fair in this matter, especially in view of the evident policy now adopted by the state as expressed in its present public utility act, particularly in section 97, and under which if in effect at the time, the city would probably have been prevented entirely from entering upon the business of supplying electricity provided the Richmond company was then furnishing, as it always has furnished so far as we know as adequate service at reasonable rates. However, in the ultimate results we feel that we would and ought to be satisfied to take our chances in competition with the city upon any rates demonstrated by the city to the j saisfaction of the comrcispinn t ! sufficient to yield a profit, due allowance being marie for everv ; which wrould enter into consideration j if the enterprise were (mdi j private corporation. It might, howj ever, not be v. reasonable that some consideration also be given to the lowest rate at which the private corpor ation could sell electricity with a reasonable return upon the amount invested as determined by the commission itself, considering the amount of securities outstanding to represent the investment as one only of the numerous elements to be considered in such determination. "We believe it would be clear to the commission that this right to reduce rates is desired for the company because a temporary reduction of rates by the city would force the company into a position where it might find it necessary or expedient to make similar reductions in order to preserve its business pending permanent determination by the commission and quite regardless of the monetary loss that such reductions very likely would involve for the company but which it might be willing to stand temporarily in the confidence that the commission will ultimately find it necessary to restore the rates to present figures or approximately the present figures to enable the city as well as the company to conduct an electric lighting and power business in Richmond at a profit."

Tubercular germs always attack when the system is weakened from colds or 6ickness, overwork, overstrain, confining duties or any drain which has reduced the resistive forces of the body. But nature alway3 provides a corrector and the best physicians emphasize that during changing climate our blood should be kept rich and pure and active by taking Scott's Emulsion after meals; the cod liver oil in Scott's Emulsion warms the body by enriching the blood it peculiarly strengthens the lungs and upbuilds the resistive forces of the body to avoid colds and prevent consumption. If you work indoors, tire easily, feel languid or nervous, Scott's Emulsion ii the most strengthening food-medicina known; it builds energy and strength and is totally free from alcohol or any stupefying drug every druggist has jt. 3-106 Scott A Bownc Bloom field.
